The influence of green chemistry principles on analytical chemistry is discussed. Emphasised are the changes in chemical measurement procedures related to introduction of new solvents, decrease in use of energy and safer chemicals. Described are new approaches like ‘quality-by-design’ in development of analytical methods, ‘fitness-of-purpose’ of instrumental analysis methods and position of ‘chemometrics’ related to greening of analytical chemistry. The methods of assessment of greenness of analytical procedures are considered. The great activity of introduction of principles of green chemistry have created the changes in analytical chemistry directed to provide the end users of chemical measurements the high-quality information in an inherently safe and environmentally friendly way they need within a reasonable time and at the least possible spending on materials and energy.
